My sisters took me in and, by embodying the fundamentals of feminine spiritual leadership themselves, taught me how to embody them too: deep listening, vulnerable and authentic sharing, storytelling, stillness and grounding. Through sitting in circle, these tools become a part of my being, giving me the ability to tap into the deep wisdom within me.

For me, the practice of coming together in a safe space, free of any agenda, surfaces the memory of who I am, what I’m here to do and how joyful the experience of life can be when shared with sisters.

The opportunity to travel with exquisite companions, who are stewarding threads of loving leadership in the world, each in accordance with their own values, is a miraculous thing — something like witnessing exploding molecules and the reshaping of the fabric of existence itself.

WSF is a gentle road back to belonging in a community of faith and spirituality.

The Latest

By Kathe Schaaf and Kay Lindahl In three months, women will gather for the third Women’s March. On January 19, the main march will be held once again in Washington D.C. while cities around the country and the world will join the energy with marches of their own. [...]

We have heard this all before - a woman stepping forward to tell her story of being sexually assaulted and a powerful man denying the allegations as other men question the integrity of the survivor. At a time when America seems to be wrestling with so many of its own inner demons and with its ugly history of unresolved trauma - this is a complex story for both men and women. The relentlessness with which these kinds of stories keep coming at us is exhausting — and yet it is a precious gift because we are being forced to look at something we have all colluded unconsciously to keep hidden.

Women can take the lead to create safe spaces where people can listen deeply and with curiosity to the person on the 'other side'. It's simple - and challenging -- and there may not be anything more important on the planet right now.

The Divine Feminine is at the very heart of Women of Spirit and Faith and the absence of Her is at the heart of the unbalanced, wobbly world in which we find ourselves living.

So we invite all women — and men – to enter the circle, extend their senses to include the other, risk a deeper truth and commit to bring forward a new paradigm of leadership with us.
